So in my 'real life' one of the thing I do is build websites. I also really like RPs and RPGs. So I've had the idea of making a web based sensual RPG, that would include both single and multi player elements. Basically, it would look a lot like those early RPGs where you'd see a room and you could go to someone and ask "What's your name?" or click on a door and "open" it etc... It would be a sci-fi club with still images, and NPCs that would interact with the users, so someone could go in and 'get to know' the various NPCs, play games with them (strip poker, etc), and also chat with other users who happen to be on the site at the same time. Now there's a few elements that are set in stone purely because of my skills and the resources I have:

- These will be still renders made in 3D (see my gallery), which is a style not everyone likes but I just can't draw illustrations, hentai or some other style, and it's a hobby project so not something I can hire a designer for
- It will be a lesbian bar. The user can be M or F and I'll write the scripts so that the girls answer with the appropriate gender, but all the NPCs will be female, except for possibly 1 or 2, like a bouncer or something.

So I'd like to know if anyone has feedback, ideas, things they would like to see, etc. Is it a good idea? Would it be something you'd be interested in? Once it's live I'll show the members of Elliquiy first as thanks for providing feedback. It will be completely free at first, although if it proves successful I may add premium features down the road.

Let me know!

I was thinking of doing something similar after the new CMS goes live (using the authentication system as a base), though I probably wouldn't start with something sexual. And use a cel shader instead.

Sounds like one of those porny flash games you can find all over the place to me, just using 3D renders instead of flat images. Higher quality artwork than most of those, which is nice, but smut RPGs (I can't think of a better description for such a game, particularly one that's gender-slanted so severely and presented in such a limited context as a single bar) tend to feel pretty shallow and one-note even if they look pretty.

I'd have to point at Vekseid's post and note that sounds like a good suggestion: start with something that isn't sexual. Sex is a good spice; it's terrible for a main course.

It would be sensual, not directly sexual. My goal is also for it to be very deep and not shallow. For example I'm thinking of a Mass Effect style karma system where depending on how you answer conversations you gain "good" or "bad" karma, and the NPCs would react differently to you.

I think real feedback can only be given correctly if we knew exactly what the plan is.

While it's not online, RAGS player seems like a tool that may be useful for making games of the type you intend.

Xanatos

Well for one thing, you are severely limiting yourself with it being a lesbian bar. Is it because rendering women is easier for you? If its not a big deal, consider it being a bar open to any relationship type. That way the audience is the biggest possible. I know that's more work, but it could pay off better.

It's an interesting concept but like Xanatos said having just a lesbian bar would be limiting. Unless that's the demo you're shooting for. Great renders, by the way. Would the women be of different types? Or would all look the same with the same body types? I think you should keep going with this one.
